The poor of Exeter.

Walked Max today in a local field near the canal and came across this.

Not sure where the person is or what happened but I do know that the council have been using the police to take tents and sleeping bags from the poor. This tent is filled with few worldly belongings but has been attacked with a knife. Beside it was a rough bivi tent.

In our super rich country that has thousands of millionaires how can this kind of thing happen? 26 families are being brought into Devon from Europe and houses will have to be found for all of them. Why can’t homes be found for the rough sleepers here? How much longer will Exeter be filled with tent villages?
